Hazards can exist under desks,
on the plant floor, in the air and pretty much any place people
work. Inspecting the workplace regularly for hazards is an
essential part of a health and safety program. Inspections help to
prevent injuries and illnesses by identifying and eliminating
existing and potential hazards.

There's more to a workplace
inspection than just looking around. It involves listening to
people's concerns, fully understanding jobs and tasks, determining
the underlying causes of hazards, monitoring controls, and
recommending corrective action. This podcast discusses how regular,
thorough, workplace inspections by a trained inspection team can
help keep workers healthy and safe.
